Sounds like he's really doing good things in prison.

IMHO,he should be allowed to continue doing good things.In prison.

Hopefully he will be doing good things in prison right up until his second judgement day.

Rehabilitation is one of the three purposes of incarceration. If he has truely rehabilitated himself then that seems like a good thing (even if he will never get out). At least he has made efforts to reform himself.

As a black man (sorry, just had to say it)

This is the kind of story that I like to read about. Growing up as a tortured soul myself, I can usually identify with sociopaths, to some extent. Of course, I can't identify with killing people; that's just a tad over my head.....
Berkowitz seems to be doing all he possibly can toward rehabilitation. Good for him.

As another Black man, I don't see the connection to Son of Sam.

Over a lifetime everyone changes. It appears he has a handle on his mental illness, has found religion and is doing relatively well while incarcerated. What about parole? Do you think he will ever be safe to walk the streets of NYC again?

He will NEVER walk the streets again. I'd probably trust him on the streets more so than some that do now.........but he will NEVER walk the streets again.
